00:12That is the story of JM and Sinas, JM.

00:17Brother Kim, one of the advocacy of MMDA

00:20is to reduce garbage and improve Metro Manila.

00:25That's why through an environmental project,

00:27a footbridge in Ortigas Avenue,

00:30they provided a new type of garbage

00:32using plastic reusable materials.

00:39More than 350,000 metric tons of plastic

00:42are transported from the Philippines to the ocean

00:45according to a multidisciplinary open access scientific journal.

00:52garbage, especially plastic,

00:54can be the reason for flooding

00:56if it is not thrown properly.

00:58But why make the problem of garbage worse

01:01if it can be beneficial?

01:04Just like these colorful plant pots

01:07made from repurposed sachet pockets.

01:09This is the Ecobridge Retrofit Project

01:12that can be found in a footbridge

01:14along Ortigas Avenue in San Juan City.

01:17Under the leadership of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority or MMDA

01:20and with the help of an art design group,

01:31because of the number of plants they put.

01:39various eco-friendly practices

01:42such as recycling,

01:43avoiding the use of single-use plastic,

01:46and continuous care for the environment.

01:54you can look at the plants,

01:56it's beautiful to look at.

01:57It's beautiful.

01:58I thought it was just wood.

02:00I thought it was going to crumble,

02:01it won't last long.

02:02But when I made it, it turned out to be plastic.

02:03It's okay.

02:04Yes, it should be like that.

02:05For those who sell marimos,

02:09they are not afraid of this.
